Ran to the gym and back this morning, about 2 miles total. Then did a bi/tri/forearm workout. Forgot to check my body fat. I think i may do spin class again tonight. Fasted for 17 hours. Eating a lottttt of food right now.

Got literally zero sleep last night on shift. Just getting home now. Probably going to try to take a nap before i go do some core and possibly arms again depending on how they feel. I am really happy about those DB chest Flys yesterday (40's x 5), and i am feeling them today. I think i could have done more reps if i had a spot.

I wouldn't sweat it. The cool thing about IF is that you can adjust your fasts everyday to what works for you; when I was doing it, there would be days I could go 18 hours without eating, other times I'd barely make it 10. Consistency's important but so is not stressing out over a few hours here and there.

And I agree - way to crush those flys the other day! Definitely impressive.

Ah, I gotcha. I get around 6 hours, tops, from working two different jobs so, to some extent, I understand. It's only recently occurred to me how much this could be affecting my routine/ability to put on muscle.

The fact that you still managed to crush it with such little rest is a testament to your dedication and consistency, though.

Thanks for all of the support. Just went and did spin class at the gym for some cardio. Burned 1300 cal at the gym total. Going to eat around 3000. According to the body fat scale i have been using it read 15.1% today. I hope this is accurate.

Fasted around 15 hours. Actually ate a small bowl of oatmeal before my workout today because i was so hungry. Todays workout was pretty tough since my legs were still killing me from cycling class and the bi/tri workout yesterday. Ran to the gym and back as well which is roughly a mile each way.
